The x86 microcode support works just fine without FW_LOADER. In fact, these days most people load microcode early during boot so FW_LOADER never gets into the picture anyway. As almost everyone on x86 needs to enable MICROCODE, this by extension means that FW_LOADER is always built into the kernel even if nothing uses it. The FW_LOADER system is about two thousand lines long and contains user-space facing interfaces that could potentially provide an entry point into the kernel (or beyond). Remove the unnecessary select of FW_LOADER by MICROCODE. People who need the FW_LOADER capability can still enable it.
